Royal palm and calico? IDK Waiting for Austria to respond.

True. Bronze and Narragansett are tricky to differentiate at hatch. I’m not sure what sexlinks would be needed for, though.

But what if you were to breed a white Holland with a Beltsville, what would you have then? They would be white, but wouldn’t be the right size to be considered either variety. Therefore, though breed might be the wrong term, so is variety. Or a Broad Breasted White with a Bourbon Red? Obviously...
